My experiments with self-piercing

I have done extensive experimenting with self-piercing. I became interested
in body piercing when I was 17. I believe it happened when I saw someone
with a nose or navel ring, I don't exactly remember. I immediately wanted
to try it, and knowing very little managed to pierce my belly button with a
needle. Withing the course of two days, it got infected, because I did not
properly clean or sterilize it. The infection was not serious, but it did
scare me away for awhile. I was drawn back to it like an addiction, mostly
for the endorphin rush I got from the piercing. I again pierced my navel,
this time without infection, but it became irritating because I was using
improper jewelry.

I began to become drawn to other types of piercing, which I kept secret
because of the prejudices of my peers. I was extremely fascinated by nipple
piercings, and decided to try it myself. I attempted to pierce my nipple
with a sterilized needle, but could not bring myself to push the needle
through. I then devised the idea of sticking one end of the needle into a
cork to lessen the pressure applied to my pushing finger and successfully
completed my first nipple pierce. I had pre-purchased body jewelry for
this, which I installed. I made sure to wash it every day, and after two
weeks it had healed completely. I later removed it for fear of discovery,
but ended up re-piercing it again.

I liked the endorphin rush so much that I decided to try a massive play
piercing session, and worked 8 pierces into my nipples, two horizontal, and
two vertical, for the session. Several of these I converted into real
piercings and ended up leaving the two horizontal nipple piercings for quite
some time. After 3 or 4 months of wear, I found that my nipples had
enlarged significantly. I then began deliberately working to enlarge my
nipples. I would attach weights to my nipples for half hour sessions, and
this worked quite well. I eventually switched to another method using
rubber bands. I would run two or three rubber bands of the proper length
through the two rings, pulling them together. This caused much pain, but I
was able to keep this arangement up for up to a couple days at a time. I am
very happy with the results - my nipples are about five times larger now,
and are much more sensitive. They aren't so large as to be noticeably
different in a shower or locker room (I'm male by the way), which was an
absolute must for me at the time (I was in high school).

I eventually gained enough confidence in my piercing ability to attempt a
penis pierce. I succeeded on my first attempt (using only a sterilzed
needle) in piercing my corona. There was very little bleeding, as I checked
the skin for blood vessels first. It felt strange and bizarre, but I liked
it. I eventually removed it because the placement of it interfered with
intercourse.

I would only recommend self piercing to someone with the appropriate
equipment and enough relevant medical knowledge. For me it has been a very
pleasureable experience, and I hope that others may enjoy it safely as well.
